Suikoden Tierkreis Coming To North America Sooner Than You Think

Suikoden Tierkreis is scheduled to come out in Japan on December 18 and Star of Destiny seekers won’t have to wait a year to play it in English. I spoke with a representative from Konami Computer Entertainment America who informed me they are already working on localizing the DS game. It’s on target for “early 2009″ which translates into Q1 2009. As long as progress steadily continues we should see Suikoden Tierkreis in North America this winter.

“This is a new game and it is completely different from previous Suikoden titles, so all the characters are new as well,” emphasizes Saruta. “There are not any locations or stages from any previous Suikoden titles. The scene of the game is one of parallel worlds.”

Our experience with Suikoden: Tierkreis has been very encouraging. Although the game seemingly came out of nowhere, it is a bona fide entry in the series, and it’s worthy of the Suikoden name. The production values are arguably better than some of the franchise’s console entries, and the payoff is likely to be one of DS’s most compelling RPGs when it hits stores this winter.

this actually happens a lot when console RPGs go to a handheld system. The story is either a spin-off, or something entirely different (aka parallel world) I’m actually not even surprised. But I’m still looking forward to it. I just love RPGs ^^
